Being a volunteer in hockey is no easy task. Volunteers are often called upon to wear many hats. At Hockey Nova Scotia, we want to do our best to ensure that our volunteers are safeguarded and not placed in a vulnerable situation without the proper qualifications.

All coaches, volunteers and anyone else who has direct contact with children are required to have the following:

* Criminal Record Check

* Child Abuse Registry Check

* Respect in Sport for Coaches/Volunteers (or Speak Out if previously certified with this)

For a copy of the letter from Hockey Nova Scotia for volunteers requesting a reduction in the Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Sector Check fee (Memorandum of Understanding), please click here. (Updated: October 2018)
